Darnell Savage isn’t going to like this incredible video of Bijan Robinson’s ankle-breaking run

Green Bay Packers safety Darnell Savage got an up-close view of the special talents of Atlanta Falcons rookie running back Bijan Robinson on one incredible run play during Sunday’s 25-24 loss in Atlanta.

Robinson caught a pitch moving right, jump cut around edge defender Kingsley Enagbare and then crossed over Savage with a wicked juke move back inside, leaving the Packers safety grasping in desperation as the dynamic rookie running back flew up field.

What could have been a short gain turned into an explosive play. Robinson is a difference-making talent.

The television broadcast view of the play was good enough. But this angle, from overhead and with the video slowed down, really showcases how devastatingly effective Robinson’s moves were — especially against Savage — on this 19-yard run:

In defense of Savage, Robinson did an incredible job of setting up the sequence. He burst outside as he got to the second level and kept his vision outside, forcing Savage to commit to his angle before explosively cutting back inside and around the tackle attempt.

Savage missed two tackles and got Moss’d by Falcons receiver Mack Hollins on a 45-yard catch. Robinson, meanwhile, rushed for a career-high 124 yards while also catching four passes.
